Re: [LegacyUG] identify template already created

[szada]

Hi John,

Go up to the title / header and just hover your mouse near the left hand margin 
of the SOURCE LIST NAME header - you'll see "half" a cross hair - a vertical 
line with an arrow to the right. When you see that, click and hold your mouse 
and drag to the right.

Hope that helps ... Susie Z

Go into the Master Source list and click on the top left of the title 
"Source List Name" and drag the cross hairs that appear to the right. A column 
will appear of the template number (if created with Source Writer) or it will 
show Basic if the source was created under basic.

Is there a way to know what Legacy template you have created a source
based on using SourceWriter? I seem to recall there is but can't find
it poking around while in/on the source.
Thanks,

Hi Graham,

Hi Rick,

Ah - that explains it - the offer to existing MyHeritage Subs ended 10 
September - it wasn't long after they sent out the offer - I read it carefully 
and made sure I responded in time.

Sorry you got caught with having to go the 'long way round'.

Secondly, the price lock mention was in the email. It states

"PLUS: Those who subscribe before Sunday night, September 10, will enjoy a 
Price-Lock Guarantee. For as long as you keep the subscription, the price will 
remain 50% discounted and will never increase in the future. This is a unique

When you click on the link, it brings you to MyHeritage and the last sentence

Easy - basic economics. 
The reason that My Heritage is making this special offer is to grow 
their market. They already have subscribers, who, at least the vast majority, 
don't need cossetting to remain. Exisiting customers are unlikely to put 
themselves through the difficulty and time of creating new accounts. 
The way for My Heritage to make more money is with new customers, not 
giving money away via special deals to existing ones.

I love the Collection Catalogue - comprehensive but not overwhelming the way it 
is presented - see by type of records or by location etc, number of records and 
date they were added / updated.

In Australia we are spoilt with TROVE and the digitised newspapers but combined 
with MyHeritage's superior search mechanism I've been getting fabulous results 
for my people in country areas - newspapers that aren't on TROVE.

Family Search were so impressed with their the MyHeritage search that they 
adopted it - part of the integration between the big sub sites.

AND to top that off, they are one of the very few who show their appreciation 
to existing loyal customers - SAME offer for Legacy Users who weren't My 
Heritage subscribers ... repeated for existing MyHeritage users - love it!  A 
bit like a loyalty rewards scheme.

Hi Marion,

It's such a shame that your conversations have been 'far from fruitful'. You 
said 'in the past' - have you tried more recently.

I can only say that I'm impressed with My Heritage and their purchase of 
LegacyFamilyTree. I have been a user of both for many years and really can't 
complain.

When the special deal for NEW My Heritage users for both their data as well as 
their DNA offers was made, I took it for granted that as an existing user this 
offer wasn't for m. As one member mentioned, they rang and got satisfactory 
results.

I was on the verge of following that advice but perhaps My Heritage experienced 
a number of similar calls as they reacted - I received an email as a My 
Heritage user with the same offers and instructions on how to get that offer. I 
replied by the deadline and have the 50% discount with the PRICE LOCK GUARANTEE.

I can't complain!

Does that mean you haven't found all the other "pop-up" fields in the border 
spaces all over the screen including the middle vertical strip?

Not sure if it's a Deluxe version only option and/or requires pop-ups allowed 
in the options.

Definitely worth finding ALL these options including the bottom right hand 
corner.

NONE of these are visible until you slowly move your mouse over them, then wait 
/ hover for the text / description to appear.

Re: [LegacyUG] Divorce in Legacy Charting

[szada]

Really useful tips, comments and suggestions - thank you Michael.

June 17, 2017 3:28 AM, "Michael Feldman"  wrote:
Hi all,

I've just completed a set of descendant charts for a reunion of my mother's 
extended family. The event -- the first such in 50 years -- took place last 
Saturday in Philadelphia with splendid turnout, and everyone had a wonderful 
time.

Many in attendance were wowed by the 20-page booklet showing the 5 generations 
starting with my grandparents who arrived in the US in 1907. My mom was the 
youngest of their eight children. Using v8, I was able to control the chart 
content on each page by adjusting its starting point and number of generations 
displayed. This allowed me to produce a very attractive set of sub-family 
charts (one or a few pages for each of the eight). A number of my relatives 
made clear that this would be a tremendous resource for them and their kids.

I handled the divorce issue by inserting a little text box with "div" just 
above the double line that connects spouses. (See the "Insert" tab -- 3rd item 
in the chart menu.) Luckily there weren't too many of these. I also confirmed 
with divorced family members whether or not they wanted the "div" to be 
published in the chart. Some did, some didn't. I made a policy decision to 
prioritize family harmony over genealogical precision -- this was definitely 
the right choice for the circumstances.

I found the ability to hand-edit a chart -- move boxes to better fit them on a 
page, add text boxes, etc. -- to be a useful feature. I do wish the chart were 
better integrated with the database; as it is, even a slight change to a box's 
content (correct a typo or whatever) requires the chart to be regenerated from 
scratch, so any hand-editing is lost and must be re-done. I'd like to see a 
Legacy chart work more like one in a spreadsheet -- the chart is dynamically 
linked to its content so a change in the database is automagically reflected in 
the chart.

I'd also like to be able to specify that a date be displayed as year-only. In 
this era of privacy concerns, one's birth date has become an important 
identifier (especially in health care). I'd like to be able to flip a switch to 
suppress month and day, so as to show the approximate age of a relative without 
exposing their full birth date. Perhaps I'm missing something, but with v8, I 
found no way to do this except to physically delete month and day from their 
record in the database.

I'll put these in as suggestions. All in all, I was satisfied with Legacy as a 
vehicle for this. For now, my project is complete; we'll see what the future 
brings.
